Both Quotes (page 118)

In that way the long-awaited visit, for which both had prepared questions and had even anticipated answers, was once more the usual everyday conversation. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Epicurus's old questions are still unanswered: Is he (God) willing to prevent evil, but not able? then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? then whence evil? David Hume
Franz Kafka quote: "The man in ecstasy and the man drowning—both throw up their arms."
The man in ecstasy and the man drowning—both throw up their arms. Franz Kafka
Is that not the perfect visual image of life and death? A fish flapping on the carpet, and a fish not flapping on the carpet. So powerful even a five-year old child with no concept of life and death knew what it meant. Not only did she know Emilio was dead, she knew she had killed him. So she comes running into my room, holding Emilio in both of her little hands - it was so cute - and she wanted me to make Emilio better. And I asked her, why did she step on Emilio? And she said, she didn't... David Carradine
It is this idea 'decency' should be attached to wealth -and 'indecency'' to poverty - that forms the core of one strand of skeptical complaint against the modern status-ideal. Why should failure to make money be taken as a sign of an unconditionally flawed human being rather than of a fiasco in one particular area if the far larger, more multifaceted, project of leading a good life? Why should both wealth and poverty be read as the predominant guides to an individual's morals ? Alain de Botton
The way I see it, the difference between farmers and suburbanites is the difference in the way we feel about dirt. To them, the earth is something to be respected and preserved, but dirt gets no respect. A farmer likes dirt. Suburbanites like to get rid of it. Dirt is the working layer of earth, and dealing with dirt is as much a part of farm life as dealing with manure. Neither is user-friendly but both are necessary. E. L. Konigsburg
In increments both measurable and not, our childhood is stolen from us -- not always in one momentous event but often in a series of small robberies, which add up to the same loss. John Irving
Pat Conroy quote: "The mind is an intricate mechanism that can be run on the..."
The mind is an intricate mechanism that can be run on the fuels of both victory and defeatism. Pat Conroy
Will Cuppy quote: "Infant wart hogs resemble both sides of the family."
Infant wart hogs resemble both sides of the family. Will Cuppy
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Be near your brothers. Not just one, but both of them."
Be near your brothers. Not just one, but both of them. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Oscar Wilde quote: "The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees..."
The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees absolutely nothing. Oscar Wilde
As I, my real self, grew older, I entered more and more into the substance of my dreams. One may dream, and even in the midst of the dream be aware that he is dreaming, and if the dream be bad, comfort himself with the thought that it is only a dream. This is a common experience with all of us. And so it was that I, the modern, often entered into my dreaming, and in the consequent strange dual personality was both actor and spectator. And right often have I, the modern, been perturbed and... Jack London
Abraham Lincoln quote: "One company can serve some of your needs all of the time, or..."
One company can serve some of your needs all of the time, or all of your needs some of the time, but never both. Abraham Lincoln
Peeta's awake already, sitting on the side of the bed, looking bewildered as the trio of doctors reassure him, flash lights in his eyes, checks his pules. I'm disappointed that mine was not the first face he saw when he woke up, but he sees it now. His features registrer disbelief and something more intense that I can't quite place. Desire? Desperation? Surely both, for he sweeps the doctors aside, leaps to his feets and moves towards me. I run to meet him, my arms extended to embrace him.... Suzanne Collins
My readers have to work with me to create the experience. They have to bring their imaginations to the story. No one sees a book in the same way, no one sees the characters the same way. As a reader you imagine them in your own mind. So, together, as author and reader, we have both created the story. J. K. Rowling
